Dictionary of German Slang and Colloquial Expressions

Getting Past the Slang Barrier- Travelers to Germany, Austria, or German-speaking Switzerland quickly discover that their textbook knowledge of the language will take them only so far. Most people-including highly educated people-spice their native language with large amounts of slang. If you have at least intermediate-level training in German, this handy book will help get you past the slang barrier. More than 4,000 common German slang words and colloquial expressions are presented with grammatical information, the definition in English, a sentence or phrase in German to illustrate usage, and an English translation of the example, using, where applicable, a corresponding English slang expression. Because of the very nature of slang, this book necessarily contains expressions that some readers might find offensive.Strutz, Henry is the author of 'Dictionary of German Slang and Colloquial Expressions' with ISBN 9780764109669 and ISBN 0764109669.
